Safety First

SAFETY FIRST

The Motorcycle

Warning

All models are designed for on-road

use and light off-road use. Light off-

road use includes use on unpaved, dirt

or gravel roads, but does not include

riding on any motocross course, any

off-road competition (such as

motocross or enduro riding), or riding

off-road with a passenger.

Light off-road use does not include

jumping the motorcycle or riding over

obstacles. Do not attempt to jump over

any bumps or obstacles. Do not

attempt to ride over any obstacles.

Extreme off-road use could lead to loss

of motorcycle control and an accident.

Warning

Tiger 1200 XRx-LRH (Low Ride Height)

Model

The Tiger 1200 XRx-LRH motorcycles

are equipped with lowered suspension

and have reduced ground clearance.

As a result, the cornering bank angles

that can be achieved by the Tiger 1200

XRx-LRH are reduced, when compared

with the standard ride height Tiger

1200 XRx.

When riding, keep in mind that your

motorcycle’s ground clearance is

limited. Operate your motorcycle in an

area free from traffic to gain familiarity

with the motorcycle’s ground

clearance and bank angle limitations.

Banking to an unsafe angle or

unexpected contact with the ground

may cause instability, loss of

motorcycle control and an accident.

Warning

This motorcycle is not designed to tow

a trailer or be fitted with a sidecar.

Fitting a sidecar and/or a trailer may

result in loss of motorcycle control and

an accident.

Safety First

Warning

This motorcycle is designed for use as

a two-wheeled vehicle capable of

carrying a rider on his/her own, or a

rider and one passenger.

The total weight of the rider, and any

passenger, accessories and luggage

must not exceed the maximum load

limit of:

Tiger 1200 XR - 230 kg (507 lb)

Tiger 1200 XRx - 228 kg (502 lb)

Tiger 1200 XRx-LRH - 230 kg (507 lb)

Tiger 1200 XRT - 228 kg (502 lb)

Tiger 1200 XCx - 223 kg (491 lb)

Tiger 1200 XCA - 224 kg (493 lb).

Warning

This motorcycle is fitted with a

catalytic converter below the engine,

which along with the exhaust system

reaches very high temperature during

engine operation.

Flammable materials such as grass,

hay/straw, leaves, clothing and

luggage etc. could ignite if allowed to

come into contact with any part of the

exhaust system and catalytic

converter.

Always make sure that flammable

materials are not allowed to contact

the exhaust system or catalytic

converter.

Fuel and Exhaust Fumes

Warning

PETROL IS HIGHLY FLAMMABLE:

Always turn off the engine when

refuelling.

Do not refuel or open the fuel filler cap

while smoking or in the vicinity of any

open (naked) flame.

Take care not to spill any petrol on the

engine, exhaust pipes or silencers

when refuelling.

If petrol is swallowed, inhaled or

allowed to get into the eyes, seek

immediate medical attention.

Spillage on the skin should be

immediately washed off with soap and

water and clothing contaminated with

petrol should immediately be removed.

Burns and other serious skin

conditions may result from contact

with petrol.

Warning

Never start your engine or let it run

for any length of time in a closed area.

The exhaust fumes are poisonous and

may cause loss of consciousness and

death within a short time.

Always operate your motorcycle in the

open-air or in an area with adequate

ventilation.

Safety First

Helmet and Clothing

Warning

When riding the motorcycle, both rider

and passenger must always wear a

motorcycle helmet, eye protection,

gloves, boots, trousers (close fitting

around the knee and ankle) and a

brightly coloured jacket.

Brightly coloured clothing will

considerably increase a rider's (or

passenger's) visibility to other

operators of road vehicles.

Although full protection is not possible,

wearing correct protective clothing can

reduce the risk of injury when riding.

Warning

A helmet is one of the most important

pieces of riding gear as it offers

protection against head injuries. You

and your passenger's helmet should be

carefully chosen and should fit you or

your passenger's head comfortably

and securely. A brightly coloured

helmet will increase a rider's (or

passenger's) visibility to other

operators of road vehicles.

An open face helmet offers some

protection in an accident though a full

face helmet will offer more.

Always wear a visor or approved

goggles to help vision and to protect

your eyes.

cbma

Riding

Warning

Never ride the motorcycle when

fatigued or under the influence of

alcohol or other drugs.

Riding when under the influence of

alcohol or other drugs is illegal.

Riding when fatigued or under the

influence of alcohol or other drugs

reduces the rider's ability to maintain

control of the motorcycle and may lead

to loss of control and an accident.

Warning

All riders must be licenced to operate

the motorcycle. Operation of the

motorcycle without a licence is illegal

and could lead to prosecution.

Operation of the motorcycle without

formal training in the correct riding

techniques that are necessary to

become licenced is dangerous and may

lead to loss of motorcycle control and

an accident.

Warning

Always ride defensively and wear the

protective equipment mentioned

elsewhere in this foreword. Remember,

in an accident, a motorcycle does not

give the same impact protection as a

car.

Safety First

Warning

This Triumph motorcycle should be

operated within the legal speed limits

for the particular road travelled.

Operating a motorcycle at high speeds

can be potentially dangerous since the

time available to react to given traffic

situations is greatly reduced as road

speed increases. Always reduce speed

in potentially hazardous driving

conditions such as bad weather or

heavy traffic.

Warning

Continually observe and react to

changes in road surface, traffic and

wind conditions. All two-wheeled

vehicles are subject to external forces

which may cause an accident. These

forces include but are not limited to:

Wind draft from passing vehicles

Potholes, uneven or damaged road

surfaces

Bad weather

Rider error.

Always operate the motorcycle at

moderate speed and away from heavy

traffic until you have become

thoroughly familiar with its handling

and operating characteristics. Never

exceed the legal speed limit.

Handlebars and Footrests

Warning

The rider must maintain control of the

vehicle by keeping hands on the

handlebars at all times.

The handling and stability of a

motorcycle will be adversely affected if

the rider removes his hands from the

handlebars, resulting in loss of

motorcycle control and an accident.

Warning

The rider and passenger must always

use the footrests provided, during

operation of the vehicle.

By using the footrests, both rider and

passenger will reduce the risk of

inadvertent contact with any

motorcycle components and will also

reduce the risk of injury from

entrapment of clothing.
